Okay, I know this has been talked about in previous threads, but I have not found any specifics. So lets try this again.
I'm working towards getting my permit right now. I am hoping that by this winter, or next spring, I will have enough money to do so. Although, I'm not really sure how much that is...
I want to facilitate mostly trades/sales of captive bred specimens from Europe and the rest of the world. I will only import unavailable wild caught species. I will not be importing common wild caught species. Mainly, I want to facilitate sling trades/sales.
SO,....
Does anyone know what all permits would be needed? I think there are multiple ones from different agencies, what agencies? Also, do you need permits for each shipment? Or do you just get the license?
Anyone have any info on requirements? Do I need an inspectable facility? What about costs?
Also, are there different permits for trading captive bred specimens vs. wild caught?
Again, I'm not interested in CITES species. Mostly captive bred trading with EU. I would like to be able to access Asia for our friends there too, depending on added cost etc...
Anything I'm forgetting?
Thanks ahead of time for your help.
P.S. I'm in a port city, New Orleans. So that is not an issue.
